| Morillo Henry III hurdy gurdy
The hurdy gurdy is essentially a mechanical fiddle. It is played by turning a rosined wheel against strings which causes them to vibrate whilst notes are produced by depressing keys which stop the strings at different positions. The hurdy gurdy has a long history and is still a living tradition in parts of Europe, particularly France. One of the most popular hurdy gurdies of the 16th century was the rustic or Henry III pattern and this hurdy gurdy is a copy of an original. It has 6 strings comprising 2 melodic chanterelles in g', gross bourdon in G, petit bourdon in d, mouche in g and a trompette in d', and is fully chromatic over a range of one and a half octaves.
